BTW, just posted an analysis of the 2009 TDIs emissions test results here:...

I haven't seen any news articles on this yet, so its Prius Chat Breaking News! :rolleyes: No word yet from the EPA as far as I've seen, but CARB...
Agreed, the Prius is not the absolutely cheapest thing you can drive. Its not that far off though. According to Consumer Reports, over 5 years...
There are others, but Hymotion are the first ones to release a conversion targeted at the general public for a reasonable(ish) price. You can...
BTW if energy independence is a concern, diesel also appears to require more barrels of oil to produce. At 33 mpg the Jetta TDI would consume...
Mileage Below is the quote from the VW press release. EPA is 29/40 or 33 combined, their independent tester got 38/44 or probably about 40...

Not sure what you are getting at. The Prius doesn't have a transmission either. Depending on how you look at it I'd say the HSD has ~6-10 moving...

Thats my base assumption. To drive 15,000 miles per year on pure electric you need a true BEV, not just a PHEV. As to whether its feasible.......
Here's a quick wag. A decent EV should use about 200Wh/mile. Lets say charging efficiency is 80%, so thats 250 ACWh/mi. If you drive 15,000...
This message brought to you by John McCain for President. I'm John McCain and I approve this message. LOL. Remember in the 90s when Clinton...
